The Valentine’s Day, despite its humble beginnings, is now popular in many countries of the world and it has a significant economic impact.

Yesterday we released the beta version of CRM Marketing. This means that you can run marketing campaigns directly from your Bitrix24 CRM.

Currently, you have five campaign types at your disposal – mass mail, bulk SMS, voice broadcasting (robocalling), instant messaging and retargeting for Google Adwords and Facebook. If you are on a free plan, you’ll only have access to email marketing campaigns limited to 5,000 messages a month (daily limits apply as well).

If you’ve watched our previous release webinars, then you know the strategy behind our CRM. First, we think that modern CRM must help companies find new clients and prospects. This is why Bitrix24 comes with a variety of lead capturing tools (email, phone calls, social media, website forms and live chat). Second, Bitrix24 helps you effectively process the data that enters your CRM, making sure no lead is abandoned or forgotten. Marketing automation is the final piece of the equation.

Now that CRM Marketing is available to you, you gain two important advantages. You can segment your database and craft different marketing messages to different audiences. And you can fully automate lead nurturing processing, building email sequences and using omni-channel approach to make sure your message is really heard.

As usual, if you have any questions or need help with marketing campaign setup, our partners are at your disposal.

Since CRM Marketing is in beta, we are happy to hear your feedback and suggestions. Please use the form inside the module to share your ideas.

Please note that there are changes coming to Bitrix24 plans after January 31, 2018. The number of business tool users available on Bitrix24 Standard plan will be limited to 50. This means that the only cloud plan with unlimited business tool users after January 31 will be Bitrix24 Professional.

Important!

This change will affect NEW Bitrix24 Standard accounts only. If you have activated your Bitrix24 Standard subscription prior to January 31, 2018, your account will remain to have unlimited business tool users for the entire duration of your subscription.

If you are using a free Bitrix24 account and considering an upgrade to a paid plan, please be advised to make the switch before the end of the month.

Have you ever had an awesome year, that you can easily deem the best year of your life? Sometimes our best years are the ones that are carefully planned. Other times, amazing years are full of surprises. Unfortunately, we can’t control surprises, but we can control our plans.

Goal setting is an important part of starting and growing a business. According to the 4th Annual Staples National Small Business Survey (Nasdaq: SPLS), 61% of business owners (61 percent) suffer from "ping-pong" syndrome as a result of constant bouncing between competing work demands and distractions. These figures could have been much lower if businesses took advantage of goal setting. Goals give us the direction to go to and simplify decision making in business.

So if you want to reach mind-blowing business success by the end of 2018, it’s best to start planning now. Here is a step-by-step plan of how to make the new year your most productive year ever:

Bitrix24 updates in 2017 were marked by the release of many new and exciting features and enhancements. Obviously, we can’t mention every new tool introduced to your Bitrix24 accounts in 2017, so we compiled a list of top 10 that we are especially proud of.

Some of these remarkable tools are available only in the premium plans. However, we really want you to try them. Even if you have already activated your free 30-day trial, you can go to the Subscription tab and get free access to premium features for a month again.

We have introduced a new tool in Bitrix24 tasks called Efficiency Indicator. As the name suggests, it measures how good Bitrix24 users are at completing their tasks on time and without objections. If you complete all your tasks without deadline violations and you aren’t asked to redo anything, your efficiency will be gauged at 100%. If you complete 9 out of 10 tasks successfully on time, the indicator will show a 90% rating.

In addition to building individual reports, you can select Workgroups and Projects among filters. When this is done, the indicator will show how many tasks were completed on time for a given project.

You can use Efficiency as one of your KPIs and improve performance. After all, what gets measured, gets improved!
